Worth fragging these heads?

[noj3333]

I have a large Frogspawn, it's not very uncommon, just a plain old green one. On the bottom of the colony many of the heads are dying (I would imagine to lack of light, as the newer growth shades them out). I was wondering if people think it's worth it to frag the lower heads off to keep them alive? What would you do?????

Oh, and I just turned the light on so the this doesn't look the best in the pictures, in real life it's very full and 'puffy'.

I would try and frag them and then slowly reaclimate them back to your lights.

why not frag them. at worst its a learning experience

When fragging these do you just break off that whole branch with the head on it back to the main stalk? I have some of the same issue you have.

Yea might as well harvest them while you can. In the right conditions a FS can grow pretty fast so in a year or two you may you may run out of room to keep them.

I went ahead and fragged them. I used a dremel with a diamond blade... it made quick work and a nice clean cut. The almost dead frags look much happier, I bet the'll grow out into new colonies.
